On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”
So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
whereas the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith.
If you really fulfil the royal law, according to the scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well.
